Yeah, Conmebol and Afcon does tend to take half our squad away these days! Alisson, Fabinho played, don't know why our boy Firmino wasn't called up (he also wasn't on winter break) after serving them so well in past games but I'm happier for that, even if he's disappointed.
Elsewhere, Luis Diaz opened up scoring for Colombia, Jota slotted one for Portugal, so yeah, pretty pleased. I know all these guys actually come back happier and hungrier if they do well for country, so long as they're not run into the ground is all.
Firmino's style doesn't really suit Brazils, at least his pressing doesn't, and I think that's one of the most important parts of his game for Liverpool. I can't believe we actually signed Luis Diaz, hes been brilliant not only for us, but Colombia. Really hit the ground running, and I think signing him alone might give us that nudge we need to really put the pressure on Man City in these final few weeks.
The depth that Liverpool have right now is probably the deepest that I've known. Especially that front three, we can effectively swap them out on a bad day, and not have much of a quality drop.
